Things seem to be getting better. After yet another long hiatus, I’m back again with hopefully an insightful but probably short blog entry. I really should stop calling this the ‘Sunday blog entry’ on my tumblr since fifty per cent of the time it ends up being posted on Monday evening.
I’ll keep the personal stuff pretty short but here is what I’ve been up to lately. My work has finally levelled out and I think I can start to relax now. My boss stepped in and made some changes so I no longer have to do a lot of pointless work, which is a huge relief. I took a week-long vacation and that seems to have made a bunch of things easier. I probably just needed a break. I’ve been reading a lot of NCIS fanfiction and realised that I miss watching crime dramas. So it looks like there might be a binge watch of that series and Criminal Minds sometime in the near future.
Speaking of fanfiction, have I got any? Yup. I decided to say ‘screw it’ and post all of my work in progress fics. I know a lot of people only like to read completed fics but really what do I have to lose? It’s not like holding back from posting the finished parts is going to make me complete them any faster. In fact, I like to think that posting some of it now gives me the incentive to finish them. I started a cut scene series called SS Sam Snippets for all of those ‘only one good scene fleshed out in the story’ ideas I have for my larger Sam series.
I’m also posting a Steve Rogers/Loki story that I started long ago called “Make the Best of the Situation“. It started out as 2K pornographic enemy to lovers fic and morphed into a 10K angsty redemption plus family feels epic. To the tune of Eric Clapton’s ‘Layla’ I have virtuous Steve totally arse over teakettle for single parent Loki. There’s a little bit of indentured servitude, Thor being an overprotective good bro, and Bruce being threateningly level headed. Did I mention that it’s a crossover with Supernatural? It includes Castiel questioning his attraction to Sam after an incident with sex pollen, a pagan goddess resurrection a la Ghostbusters II, and gratuitous twisting of canon for yet another Apocalypse.
Continuing with crossovers, I posted another Criminal Minds Supernatural fic. It’s called “Love Hurts“. I don’t know if it’s been done but Reid as an incubus is something I’m jazzed about. The trope where he is a demon is common enough so I’m hoping this is a little more unique. The pairing is Hotch/Reid with Sam starring as a momentary jealousy point on two different fronts.
So I think that is about all for now. Wishing everyone success in crushing their WIPs, until next time y’all!
